<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This project
is about finding out about patterns of drug use in your local area. The
first step is to decide exactly what you want to find out. You might focus
on: </font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">drug use
among different age groups - for example, young people, adults or the
elderly. </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">different
drugs - all drugs, legal and illegal; just illegal drugs; or specific
drugs such as alcohol, cannabis or heroin. </font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Once you
have decided which group and drugs to focus on think about some of the
questions you need to answer. These may include: </font></p>
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">

many people are using? </font></td>

First write down your own answers to these questions. The next step is
to get some more information about patterns of drug use in your area.
To do this:<br>
<br>
Find out if there have been any studies or surveys carried out about drug
use in your area by contacting your local:<br>
</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Drug service
such as Community Drug Team </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Health
Promotion Department (Health Service) </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Education
Department. They should have a Health Education Adviser who should be
able to help you </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Community
police. </font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Conduct your
own survey by asking local people about what they think is happening locally.
You might ask: </font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">teachers
</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">other
young people </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">your parents
and other adults </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">professionals
such as police youth workers, drug workers, social workers etc. </font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Write
up your findings in your project book. <br>
</font></li>
